Salt Lake City - the end of day seventeen
July 21, 2006
Into one Big City for a change.
Today’s trip south will be in the neighborhood of 300 miles, and we tried to make it as painless as possible. Not a whole lot to see whether on main roads or back roads. We took the back roads and had fun looking for
We got a couple of good shots downtown at the courthouse and one driving north towards the State Capital building with the Eagle Gate.
No trip to
Dinner tonight was at one of our "old favorites", the Old Spagetti Factory.

This is a chain restaurant begun back in early 1969 in Portland, Oregon. They have locations now across the country, most of which are in California, Oregon, and Washington.
A key part of The Old Spaghetti Factory's success is its ability to deliver a complete dinner (salad, bread, spaghetti entree, beverage and dessert) for a very reasonable price. The bread is a freshly baked loaf and is served with garlic butter and regular butter, your choice to add. The dessert offers spumoni ice cream, which is always a treat, or vanilla.
Another part of the fun is the interior. Each is different, naturally and many use antiques and other interior improvements, including a centerpiece streetcar and brass headboards that serve as bench backs. This particular one is two storied in a mall!
And like all others everywhere, you will have to wait! Very busy, but well worth it.

Salt Lake City is the center location of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And whether you know very much about this religion or not, this is a good place to visit to learn more of the rich history and teachings.
Even if you are only there to see this ten acre sight with it many beautiful buildings and homes and the gardens, statues and the Tabernacle you will find it interesting.
Throughout the square are explanatory markers letting visitors know what they were observing and the history behind that item or building.
Approximately a mile away are the burial sites of Brigham Young and many of his family.

Very centrally located in Salt Lake City’s business, historic, cultural and entertainment center, Little America is just 10 minutes from the international airport and a short drive from Utah’s famous outdoor attractions. The hotel’s superior service, accommodations, and meeting space make it an ideal location for any meeting. And unlike most other big cities, being in close to the center of town here is not a drawback. It is a very clean, and well maintained facility and does it's best to maintain the 4 star rating given it by AAA.
They have at least four types of rooms available, from their tall tower room, to the Garden and Coutside rooms, and even suites up to 1,800 square feet. Our room, which was one of the standard, Courtside rooms was very spacious, well appointed, and furnished with French Richelieu furniture and English Wool carpeting.
There are four restaurants to pick from as well as room service, pool service, etc. Several Shops, and botiques for both men and women.
They also have superior consierge service who are very friendly, and quite knowledgable of the area.
